The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. But goodness alone is never enough. A hard cold wisdom is required, too, for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil.
Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you.
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.
I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
